Do you own a professional type scan tool ? Would need to see if the instrument cluster can communicate with scan tool . That would be a priority . If the instrument cluster ,for some reason wouldn't be talking,checking power an ground for the cluster . Batteries going dead , changing batteries without a alternative power supply can cause modules to go to sleep permanently ! Battery Disconnect or Replacement Problems I'am not saying that's what happen to your's . 2003 to 2006 GM had cluster problems ! The solder use in the cluster caused silver migration , instrument cluster caused a drain on the battery overnight . Watch these videos !

Battery was completely dead ? after how long , over night , or just out of the blue ? These year GM vehicle's 03 to 06 have instrument cluster problems , draining the battery . Do you know what parasitic draw is ? Google it . They used lead free solder constructing the electronics , an after a while it causes silver migration .

Info cluster including gauges are dead. fuse checks good

Is the cluster completely dead or is it a problem with the gauges only? If the entire cluster is dead it could be a cracked circuit board.Another posibility is a bad ground. This is known to occur in the 99-02 Silverado clusters and the 03-06's but not as many.

My 03 Silverado has parasitic battery drain. VOM

Disconnect the auxiliary power cable from the under-hood distribution center that runs to the anti-lock brake controller. Remove the ignition relay from this distribution center (this will isolate/eliminate/indicate the problem as the ignition switch). Unplug any GPS add-on device, and any radar detector, stereo amplifier add-on, I-pod, trailer brake controller add-on, anything that did not come on the truck from the factory. These can be frustrating.

I have a 03 chevy 1500hd 4x4 and all gauges in the cluster went out, from time to time they will start working again and then fail again.

Is it just the gauges? If so it is probably a bad or loose connection. If Im not mistaken the cluster is connected to the computer via a pig tail. I would look there first and make sure nothing has come loose.

Wait until you have the cluster back and installed properly. The ECM must receive many inputs before allowing an engine to start. On your truck the cluster just may be 1 of those inputs.
